RACINE, Wis., March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Spring is here and the Scrubbing Bubbles® team is continuing its mission to commit cleaning acts of kindness, one deserving mess at a time! Let's Bubble', a nationwide call to action for Americans to help others by cleaning messes big and small, started the hunt for deserving clean-ups earlier this year and the team is now calling on the nation to help us narrow the finalists and choose four communities to win a grand prize clean up.
We selected nine community locations from the more than 1,000 entries as locations deserving a clean-up. Now Scrubbing Bubbles® needs your help to get us to the final four. Vote until April 15 at www.scrubbingbubbles.com/letsbubble and the locations with the most votes will be announced that week with clean ups starting on April 28. For every share or vote on Facebook or Twitter, Americans can help Scrubbing Bubbles® do even more good by reaching a goal to donate $25,000 to a notable charity.
Vote Where We Should Bubble!
